Exporting to Excel 2000

We recently changed over to SQL 2000 RS. Many of our customers are not able
to make sense of a report exported in Office 2000 version of Excel. It is
completely unreadable.
Many are not in the position to be able to Upgrade to Office XP or 2003.
Any ideas on how to help customers with this issue?Make sure you are running SP1 of RS 2000 on the report server and report
designer machines. The Excel rendering extension of SP1 will generate the
Excel output in the BIFF format which is supported by Excel 2000 etc.
